“Tis the Dawning of the Age of Aquarius’ - this is February’s song, and always has been. It is a little strange that the month of love and romance happens to also be the month connected to the detached, free-love, airy-fairy sign of the Water Bearer. Being a fixed sign, sure, it's committed. But Aquarius is also a love-one-love-all type. Freedom, space and individuality are the cornerstone values of detached Aquarius. Friendship first, always.
Thus, if this month feels less than gushy, just hold out until Pisces Season hits on February 18th. This is when all the feels come out, when we're more prone to getting swept off our feet. Tell your honey - or crush - to postpone the celebrations. It’ll be well worth the wait.
But wait. We're getting ahead of ourselves. This isn’t just any regular Aquarian month. No, this month, Mercury, Mars and Venus, right after their move into this sign on the 5th, 13th and 16th respectively, bump heads with Pluto, having also recently arrived in Aquarius. Far be it from a light and fluffy few weeks. Oh no. In fact, this month may prove quite dark and stormy. Yet another good reason to postpone those flowery plans of ours, no?
Pluto takes us on a soul journey deep, deep down into the Underworld, where we’re given the keys to alchemise lead (aka, our shadow) into pure gold. Yes, it’s going to feel triggering. Yes, we’re challenged to rise above the drama, babe. To empower ourselves by standing firmly inside of our power, in our integrity, in our light. Remember, the gift of Aquarius is freedom. Freedom from the toxic baggage that’s only holding us back from being our most marvelous, unique, crazy, wacky, wild self.
Love is back in the air from the 18th, seeing as this is when Pisces season swooshes in. But more important is the conjunction of Venus to Mars on the 22nd. The cosmic lovers dance sensually together in the skies, reflecting the same, sexy, rebellious, freedom-seeking dance here on earth. Mark your diaries, darling. This is a special union which may bring all kinds of cosmic gifts our way.
Happy Eclipse Season! Happy Equinox! Happy Astrological New Year! Celebrate all the things, darlings - because there's plenty to celebrate!
Well, at least celebrate the Equinox/New Year, occurring officially on March 19th. Usually it’s the 21st, so for those of you in the know, you may be raising your scholarly eyebrows and wondering why your calculations are off.
They're not off, sweetheart. It’s just that this is a Leap Year, which does jumble the heavens around somewhat. Nevertheless, raise your glass and relish the fact that you have yet another chance to begin the year. If January 1st wasn't your time, and if you don’t celebrate any other New Year from any other culture, then this is your moment. Set some intentions, babe. Think of them as early as March 10th, with the New Moon in magical Pisces. Then, move ahead from the 19th onwards, as the Sun marches into action-oriented Aries, ready for a new and exciting chapter. No more dilly-dallying, says the Archetypal Warrior.
Except, there may be a touch of dilly-dally, what with Mars, the ruler of Aries, entering Pisces for the first time in two years on the 22nd. Oops. That puts a damper on things, doesn't it? Here we are, all ready to go with our swords and shields and plans, but where are we actually going? What do we want? How do we want it? Do we want more than one thing? Are we procrastinating or waiting for a sign (hopefully, the latter!).
These may be some of the reflections we need to power through for the next few months, darlings. We simply must act, but only from the heart. Because that's the clearest indicator, Attempting to use our heads, well, that will only have us spinning. Follow your flow, babe. Be drawn to your bliss. The Eclipse Season, kicking off with a Full Moon in Libra on March 25th, is bound to bring us all kinds of clarity and climaxes, especially when it comes to matters of the heart. Ready, steady, go!
As if to drive April Fool’s Day home, Mercury, the Trickster planet, moves into retrograde motion on the 1st.
Hello, April.
For three weeks until April 25th, Mercury’s backward foray in the sign of Aries, the Warrior(ess), is bound to bring up all kinds of niggly, uncomfortable moments. Impatience colors the month due to wanting to make a decision right now, right at this very moment. Yet, we may be held back, delayed, or otherwise stymied. Remember, patience is a virtue, darlings. Slow down. There’s no need to rush.
Venus enters this self-same sign on April 5th, igniting passion and impetuousness in all things romance and finance-related, making it hard to resist our impulses. Yet, Mercury’s retrograde energy, once again, reminds us to reflect and review before we dash into where angels fear to tread.
The biggest news of the month, however, is the Total Solar Eclipse on April 8th, also in Aries. This closes off Eclipse Season with a bang, inviting a brand-new beginning. Aries energy is all about blazing a new chapter, pioneering, seizing the bull by the horns, and fearlessly riding the storms of chaos. Aries loves a challenge, so what new challenges can you set for yourself in the months and even years to come? In what way do you need to clear the decks, darling? Where can you be bolder, braver, more courageous? How can you put yourself first, more and more? It’s okay to be a little selfish, you know.
It may also be useful to brainstorm some of what’s coming up so that when the time comes, you’re ready to spring into action, true Aries-style. Sure, the Mercury retrograde is somewhat of a hindrance, so it may take a hot minute before we can fully embrace the excitement of new adventures. Yet, our time will come. Trust, baby. Eclipses have a way of moving us speedily towards our destiny, whether we like it or not.
Taurus Season kicks off on April 19th, slowing the pace down and bringing a sense of calm and peace. Exciting opportunities abound with the conjunction of Jupiter and Uranus on the 20th, a much-anticipated celestial event in 2024. The Full Moon on April 23rd in deep, dark Scorpio reminds us of the delicate balance of change and stability, illuminating the intentions that we set several months ago during the New Moon in this same sign.
Say hello to your future, darling! The stars are shining bright for you with your ruler, Mars, heading into the goals, aspirations and dreams sector. He’s not been here for about two years , so reach as high as you can. Remember, even if you don’t reach the Moon, you’ll still land amongst the Stars. Not that you need encouragement - not with your go-getting attitude. Power lies at your fingertips this month, and there’s nothing - literally nothing - you won't be able to achieve. Not only are you magnetic, but you’re also oozing with charm. Irresistible, you are. Work it.
This month sees your career sector being lit up like a Christmas tree, honey. You’re reaching new heights - heights you could only have dreamt of, heights wilder than your wildest fantasies. Yet, you're not doing this all on your lonesome. It takes teamwork to make the dream work. Thus, make February the month to partner up with the right people. Collaborate, especially over the 16th, when your ruler, Venus, shifts into this zone. She joins forces with Mars on the 22nd, reflecting a time of unique creativity, social support and pure inspiration. The sky truly is the limit, baby.
Mercury changes sectors twice this month. From the 5th, your knowledge, higher learning and teaching sector is given a delicious boost for your ruling planet. Joining him on the 13th and the 16th, are Mars and Venus respectively, lending all kinds of passion for the journey that you're on. In fact, you may even embark on a new journey with the New Moon on February 9th, and these planets' arrival simply serve to boost the seeds you’ve already sown. Pluto’s influence allows for you to step into your full capacity as teacher, role model or mentor. Mercury’s move on the 23rd into your professional sector allows you to translate all of this power into the right areas.
If you don’t ask, you don’t get. That’s the lesson being presented to you at the moment, sweetheart. Being a fairly self-sufficient sign who prefers to be needed than to be doing the needing, this may present a tricky new lesson. Yet, there’s so much power and gifts to be found in laying your soul bare and letting the Universe (aka your partner, friend, the bank or family) know you’re in need of a leg up. You may even find that the slightest move in this direction opens up a whirlwind of opportunity and windfalls. This is how it’s supposed to be, babe. Lean in.
Aquarius is the sign opposite to you and thus, governs the topic of partnership, relatedness and connection. February is all about that, darling. Isn’t it ever so exciting? Being one of the signs connected to romance, you have a wide-open heart, always ready to share. This month’s New Moon on the 9th may usher in a whole new relationship paradigm, whether that looks like a relationship arriving on the scene in the next several months or a wonderful new beginning in your current relationship. The joining of Venus to Mars on the 22nd reflects a delicious cosmic moment, so mark your diary babe.
This month has a Full Moon in your very own sign, on the 24th. When a Full Moon falls in your very own sign, it always represents a culmination of some kind. What's coming full circle in your own life now? Is it a personal path? A health journey? A relationship that’s beginning or ending? What is it that you need to let go of? How can you take the very best care of yourself, especially with so many of the planets congregating in your wellness sector? What new routines can you birth at the moment? So many questions, yes, but all of them so very important. Bring out that journal honey, and get reflecting.
This Aquarius Season, dedicate yourself wholeheartedly to your passions. Maybe your passion is crocheting or maybe it's your partner. Maybe it’s traveling, or learning Astrology. Just let whatever it is make your heart sing. Even better is to join hands with like-minded people who share the same passion as you do. After all, sharing is caring, especially in the context of the values you stand for. There’ll be a few tricky, intense moments - especially around the 17th - but it's nothing you can't transcend. You just have to be willing to get your hands a little dirty. Don’t skate along the surface, honey. Go deeper.
Pluto, your modern co-ruling planet, is in full force this month. He’s joined by no less than three different planets on the 5th, 14th and 17th, reflecting an intense time on the domestic front. Yet, you’re getting closer and closer to the kinds of foundations that you want to create. You’re standing in your power and having huge conversations with the people closest to you. You’re moving mountains. You may even be moving homes. The one thing to keep in mind is to not trample anyone over in a ruthless rush towards the goal. Collaborate. Find a way that everyone wins. It’s so much better than way, no?
Everything this month boils down to one seemingly simple word - communication. The more you do it - honestly and openly - the better things will get. Yes, there’ll be some intense moments in which you can't imagine yourself thinking harder than you are in this moment. You may even need to take a long walk - regularly - to clear your mind and get your head out of a spin. Keep a close eye on any ‘analysis paralysis’. Remember to breathe. In fact, join a breathwork class. Journal. Get a life coach. Be the life coach. Mid-month sees you stepping into a whole new space of raw, pure power.
Nothing whets your appetite more than the prospect of riches and fame. Well, riches more than fame. This month sees Pluto, the bringer of wealth, potentially bringing you exactly what you've been dreaming of. The seeds are being sown with the New Moon on the 9th, and Pluto just gives it all some ‘oomph’. This is a slow - decades-long process, actually - of building yourself up to heights that you could never have dreamed of before. It’ll take some careful planning. It’ll take stepping outside of your comfort zone, especially from the 5th onwards. You have some very unique skills to bring to the table. Use them.
Make a wish. In fact, make several. The planets are configured this month in such a way that you may actually see each and every dream come true. It’ll take blood, sweat and tears. It’ll take you standing in your own power, and not allowing anyone to shift you off course. The 14th - Valentine’s Day - is a particularly intense moment to take what you desire with both hands and labor to birth your ideas. Will you succeed? Honey, not only will you succeed, but you’ll fly. The cosmos has promised it so. It’s all about you now. Pull the focus away from your friends and be a little selfish. You’ve earned it.
Your birthday month kicks off strongly on the 18th, what with the Sun moving into your very own sign. This is a calling from the cosmos to set out on a brand-new path. One that’s aligned to your soul. You’ve traveled another year around the Sun. What do you want to do with this new, sparkling chapter? Well, first you have to let go and make space. Prior to the 18th, you may experience some powerful, intense cycles coming to an end. They won’t all be easy. Yet, they will evolve you to a whole new way of being. Surrender into this. Don’t overthink it. Gracefully release that which is no longer aligned to you.
All the efforts that you’re about to make, all the progress that’s coming, it’s going to happen behind the scenes, baby. Whilst one part of you - the conscious part - marches out into the world, ready for your Birthday Season to kick off on the 19th, the other part of you, is backstage, trying to figure out exactly where it is that you’re marching to. If this sounds confusing, well, that’s because it is, a little. You'll have to drop ever so deeply into your heart space now, sweetheart. Ask your spirit what it's craving. If it’s some rest, give it that. If it’s action, go for that. Just make sure that you keep checking in with you.
Venus glides into the sector of your chart connected to aspirations and dreams on the 11th. Here, she ignites your creative energy and inspires you to connect with like-minded souls who share your greatest hopes. From the 22nd, when Mars joins her, it’s time to take action on these plans. It’s time to get moving, Be mindful of following the call of your soul, darling. Don’t listen to the chitter-chatter of your brain, no matter how insistent it is. This season is all about intuition, about guidance and about surrounding yourself with people who emanate the same light as you.
Your star rises as early as March 10th, what with the New Moon blooming beautifully in your professional sector. This ignites all kinds of inspirational possibilities, whether you're a small business wonder, a homemaker, a creative, a healer or anything else. It's time to shift your role in the world, sweetheart. To step into more of who you’re supposed to be. Dream big. Now, dream bigger. Bigger than that. There you go. Don’t be afraid to leverage your relationships to get you to where you need to be going. The most important thing to keep in mind, however, is to consciously choose your path. Dilly-dallying will only create pointless suffering.
This month is ever so special, sweetheart. It brings along all the good things - from spiritual growth, to potential new journeys, travels, studying, or just a sense of soul expansion. The New Moon on the 10th is what sets all of this deliciousness off, followed by the entry of Venus into this sector on the 11th, and Mars hot on her heels on the 22nd. If you’ve never before had a passion for expansion - well - get ready for new horizons to excite you. What’s more, the Sun’s move into your career sector is also an energy that may bring along all kinds of interesting opportunities for you to shine, baby, shine!
As your ruler, the Sun, shifts sectors into your personal growth sector on the 19th, all you’re going to be focused on is ways to make your world a little - actually, a lot - bigger. This month is the ideal time for you to embrace your role as coach, mentor and guide, to write your story, to make your mark. You may also feel the urge to build new skills and talents that will help you to claim your place in the spotlight come next month. Sign up for that workshop, babe. Go to that seminar. Better yet, lead that seminar. You know you want to. The stage beckons. It’s your power place.
Mercury, your ruler, changes his cloak and dons on the Warrior-like armor of Aries on March 9th. This transit may bring along an uncharacteristically impulsive energy to your world, one in which - gasp and horror - you're ready to take a bit of a risk. You’re supported, babe. Go for it. This is the first time in a year, or perhaps even longer, that the stage is so well set up for you to take that leap. Look at your partnerships and relationships if you're feeling a little wobbly. They're right there. They have your back. Don’t hesitate to strike up some new partnerships, if that’s what your soul is calling for.
Mark your diary for the end of the month, darling. The Full Moon Eclipse unfolds in your very own sign on the 25th, bringing some sort of major climax to your world. This may be in the realm of relationships - your favorite thing ever, we know - or perhaps in the realm of your own personal journey. It’s the fruition of whatever seeds were sown back in October of last year. You’re going to come out of this situation empowered, darling, so no matter how intense or scary it feels, go right in there. Face your shadow head-on. Ask for what you desire. Don’t take no for an answer.
If there’s anything - anything at all - that you’re passionate about, then this would be the time for you to make it a reality. The New Moon of March 10th is one that ignites a several-months-long journey of joy, fun, even love - if that’s what you’re looking for. It's important that you turn deeply into your soul and honor what it wants, even if it seems woo-woo or wishy-washy. Eager to explore pottery? Do it. Got a fascination with studying reiki? Sign up for that course. Want to meet your soulmate? Get out there and ask the Universe, with faith and intention. Create, baby. The world is full of possibilities.
Is there somewhere your soul is yearning to go? Physically? Is there a location you’re eager to explore? If so, this is your time, darling. Go and view that space. Sign the lease. Put in the offer. Ask your honey to move in. Do whatever it takes for you to feel like you've landed in the right space for your spirit. If family matters are on your mind, from March 10th things like they’re going to be renewed, reviewed and improved. Venus’s entry into this sector makes it all so much sweeter. Just be mindful, darling, that you don’t move into sacrificial mode.
The Eclipse on March 25th is a big one for you. You may be catapulted into the next level when it comes to your career, though it'll take some compromise and balance to ensure that you don’t end up neglecting your roots, your home, your people. Remember; to grow tall, you need to be anchored. And if your current anchors aren’t serving you, then it may be time to move on. To let go, to release, to anchor yourself to something new and different. Don’t be afraid of change, honey. If that’s what you need to move ahead in life, then honor it.
The start of the month - specifically on the 9th - may feel like you’re moving in a direction that you can’t control. That your foundations are shifting, that you’re freeing yourself of old paradigms that just no longer work for you. Yet be careful of playing the part of the rebel too well, baby. Rein it in a tad. Don’t destroy what you've worked so hard for. There’s a new beginning awaiting you in the material realm, and you want to ensure that you're grounded enough to deal with it. By the end of the month, you'll have a very clear idea of exactly what decisions you need to be making.
A New Moon in your sign - well, well, well, isn’t that a lucky break? The 10th sees a new chapter unfolding for you - one in which you’re potentially walking a totally different path to the one that you may have been previously on. The planets Venus and Mars are supporting you this month too, as they enter your sign on the 11th and 22nd, reflecting a magnetic, attractive and powerful energy in you. No one will be able to resist your charms, darling. And there’s nothing you won’t get the moment you desire it. Bask in these cosmic gifts. You deserve each and every last one of them.
This is probably one of the biggest months of the year for you, baby, if not the biggest. Mercury retrograde. The transit of Venus and Mars. The Total Solar Eclipse. All happening in your very own sign. The Universe is moving you in ways that you never thought possible, honey, so hold on tight. Your life might look very different in a few months, or a year, from what it is now. Take time to reflect on some of your major decisions before you spring into action. The Eclipse will likely take care of things so that you don't have to. Lean in and ride these thrilling storms of change.
Your Birthday Season kicks off on the 19th, baby, so bide your time until then. What can you do in the interim? Clear the decks. Take the initiative to make space for renewal. You have a new chapter awaiting you. The Eclipse may remove people and situations from your life that no longer hold weight. That no longer adds value to your world. Change is scary for you, honey, so be gentle with yourself. Take things one step at a time, and if they start happening too fast, just breathe and trust that there’s a divine plan in all of this. You’ll see, especially when Jupiter and Uranus align in your sign on the 20th.
Oh, dang. There goes Mercury again, doing his mischievous backward dance. This does put somewhat of a spanner in the proverbial works, particularly when it comes to certain goals you’ve been working towards. Not to mention the Eclipse unfolding in this same sector of your aspirations, hopes, and wishes. Keep in mind that we get what we need, not what we want. Maybe these goals weren't for you anymore. Maybe they needed to change, and you just didn’t realize it until this very moment. Give the dust some time to settle, and you’ll soon see the divine reason behind all of this.
Ready to kick off a whole new chapter, darling? This Solar Eclipse happens in one of the most active areas of your chart, the sector that rules your career and calling. As such, the next several months, or even years, may illuminate a whole new personal path. You’re stepping into a new role, whatever that means for you. You’re grabbing the bull by the horns. You’re taking charge. You’re rising to the challenge. Bold, brave, and fearless are your keywords for the month ahead. Plus, there’s a delicious new opportunity or goal awaiting you come April 20th, too. Things are looking oh-so-good.
Time for a new adventure? Absolutely. There’s a remarkable journey ahead of you now, so embrace this chapter with both hands, baby. Sure, you may dance back and forth, doubting and questioning. This is par for the course. You have the whole wide world at your feet now. It’s healthy to have some doubts because, without doubt, we would probably make some pretty silly decisions. If you’re not sure where to even start, rest assured that the Eclipse on the 8th should kick things off quite nicely for you. It’s a delicious kind of chaos that’s unfolding. From the 19th, your world starts stabilizing, and you’re rising up in the ranks. Go, you.
As much as you might attempt to plan, consolidate, and budget, you’ve got to be okay with making room for the unpredictable. April’s Mercury retrograde on the 1st and the Eclipse on the 8th may have you needing to learn greater flexibility. Your resources are shifting. Change is on the horizon. It’s inevitable. Keep in mind that this is to help place you in a position where you’re open to the sudden adventures that seem to be unfolding on your doorstep come April 20th. There’s order to this chaos. This should set your heart at ease, darling. Everything is happening just the way that it’s meant to.
Aries is your opposite sign, making April quite the month when it comes to relationships. If you've been waiting and hoping for a sign from someone special to come along, well, this could be your moment, honey. Open your heart. If they happen to be an ex, that's the Mercury retrograde talking. Close that door firmly. In order to make space, you need closure. Move on, babe. Your ruler, Venus, brings a fiery warmth to your connections until April 29th, at which point she settles down into a steady sort of calmness. Along with the Sun’s support, she gifts you with all you need and much, much more.
Mark the date of the 23rd, when a Full Moon blooms in your very own sign. Hark back to several months ago, when a New Moon was born here. What were the intentions you seeded back then? Do you like what you see now? What needs to change in your personal path, in your relationships? How can you find a better balance between stability and change? With Jupiter and Uranus aligning in your relationship sector on the 20th, all kinds of wonderful, new (and unexpected) opportunities have the chance to come along. The Sun and Venus also enter this area on April 19th and 29th respectively, bringing a soft, fruitful, and delicious energy. Yum.
A creative dream that you hold dear to your heart—a passion, a yearning—has the chance of becoming a reality, what with the Eclipse energy unfolding on the 8th. There’s a promise of love, darling. Whether that’s the romantic kind of love or love for what you do, doesn’t matter, in the grand scheme of things. Love is love, baby. Give the reins over to the Universe and let her do as she will to help your heart open more and more. From the 19th, and especially on the 20th, the cosmic energy promises more day to day stability, yet with the delicious promise of unexpected opportunities, too.
This month asks you to be open to allowing your foundations to shift. This may look like your home, your family foundations, or simply your inner base. The Eclipse on the 8th may bring along a cosmic storm, asking you to take a bold chance and go - perhaps literally - where you’ve never gone before. Trust that any endings that unfold are there to help create more space, more room. Creative energy is very much on your side, darling, particularly from the 19th onwards when the Sun heads into this sector and Jupiter and Uranus align to reflect new and oh-so-exciting possibilities.
Being a person who loves and craves knowledge, who has a special skill in being able to impart said knowledge to the world, you'll find that April holds many sparkling possibilities to do exactly this. To learn as well as to teach. This may come unexpectedly, in a way that asks you to rise to the challenge and be bold. To be confident. To trust that you know enough, that you are enough. Because you absolutely are, and you always have been. Be on the lookout for exciting domestic developments, too, especially on the 19th and 20th, when the cosmos has all kinds of yummy tricks up her sleeve.
New material possibilities positively abound this month, particularly around the Eclipse on the 8th. Maybe it’s a case of you being able to showcase some of your more dormant skills, or talents that you’ve only recently acquired. Or perhaps there’s a sparkling new financial beginning unfolding. This will require you to step up and be a little braver, a little more willing to take a risk. Are you up for the challenge? Oh, absolutely, darling. You may have to go back and forth to get things just right, but that’s all part of the learning. Your confidence will soar as a result.
